Tat injunction suit has been filed
and the LIGHT will wait to see the Issue
before expressing hssty opinion that it
will neither be prosecuted nor de-
Tended vigorously" This much, how
ever, seems certain, the city will have
to defend alone, as the county is not dis
posed to sguander money over the set
Element Of that site. The LIGHT is on
record months ago as saying that the
county commissioners were In no par
ticular agony to place the court house
on Military plaza and that 1t could be
put down as gospel truth that they
would not consent in the end to any
erection OF q joint building on that
plaza. The declaration now made,
that the selection of the site on militia
~ plaza WAS with the clear understand
ing that the city should secure the site
without expense to the county, backs up
the opinion then expressed as far as this
act Of the county commissioners goes
and shows that they are very Indifferent
spectators of his hOnor's attempt to
build Joint city hall and court house
on Military plaza. The injunction was
Issued with promptness; it is asserted
by those who profess to know, that the
injunction will be made permanent and
that the case will be advanced before
the courts and speedy decision render
ed. 1t is also reiterated by the LIGHT
as its opinion that no joint city hall and
court house will be built on Military
square.

THE FIRE FIENDs NABBED,

Two negro boys were arrested Saturday
on the suspicion of being connected in
some way with the recent fires. One of
them named Robinson, who has lately
arrived here from Wichita county, con-
fessed to having set fire to the negro dive
on the south side. He claims that he was
melted to the act by the other negro boy,
whose name is Robb. They allege that
their reason for committing the act was a
mischevious desire to arouse the town and
create an excitement The boy Robb
was to ring the fire alarm when his COM
panion had started the fire. Robson
states that the alarm was started before
he had succeeded in lighting the fire.
Many doubt the statement that the fire
was started for fun, at any rate they will
find it to be a very sorrowful piece of fun
making.
1t is supposed that the fire in the Craw
ford building was started by other part
les, and a good clue has been obtained.
1t is said, though nothing definite has
been made known.

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE,

The city council, we think, were lit
tie premature in awarding the city print
ing during the absence of the editors of
the Democrat and Globe, and awarding it
to the Times. Mose particularly so when
we take into consideration that the ed.
itor Of the Democrat has been absent for
two weeks. doing valiant service for our
people and city, to say nothing about
what the Globe man has done. There
was undue haste in this matter. We
care not who may have been the victor at
the final outcome, provided all could have
had fair and square chance at muster
ing their forces before the council would
take actihn.-Globe Live Stock Journal
The TIMES editor was also absent He
had not the remotest idea when the city
printing would be brought up for action
in the city council. Besides the editor of
the TINES never believed. he had any
show of getting the printing, and he
made no effort to get it. The editor of
the TINES never asked member Of the
council "a assist the TIMES. He never
asked anybody to ask any member of the
council to secure the printing to the
TnfEs.

OBITUARY..

Died at her home, in this county, or
May 18th, 1887, Maggie, daughter of Johr
and Carrie Ridenour, in the eighteenth
year of her age. The cause of her death
was an abcess in the breast and side. Hel
illness continued through period OF
eighteen months during the most of which
time she was confined to her bed During
all OF these months of suffering, she bore
her trials with the utmost fortitude. and
her cheerful disposition was manifest dur
ing the moments that her body was not
undergoing acute physical pain. She
was a christian and her last hours were
supported by an abiding faith, and ended
at last in a peaceful death.

THE BEAUTIES OF THE
KANSAS CLIMATE.

We believe there is no healthier state
on earth than Kansas, especially the
western and central parts. Our atmos.
phere is dry; and our elevation of 1900
feet above the level of the sea gives us q
pure and healthy air. OF course the
winters are as cold and the summers are
as hot, for brief periods, as in Missouri o.
Illinois, but seasons Of extreme heat OF
cold are very rare. and the climate is I'M
dergoing changes for the better every
day.
Cold weather seldom begins before
Christmas, and by the first of March far
mers are beginning to pillow. We gener.
ally have dry winters For the last three
years we have had all the rain we needed
just at the right timei and at the same
time ne have escaped those disastrous
tornadoes, foods and cyclones, so fire.
quent of late years in the eastern states.
Each year we find new vegetation SPRING
ing up, as result of cultivating the soil,
planting trees and settling up the country.
The wind blows more here than in some
of our eastern states, but this has de-
creased within the last few years, until
they have had no more wind here during
the past two years than they have had in
Illinois. There is always enough air
stirring to keep me climate fresh and in :.
vigc-atilE 40 Oppressive heat no sun

the evenings simply delightful People
sleep and rest better here than Id any
country on earth. There is something in
Kansas air that gives perfect rest to mind
and body while asleep. Sterling Gazette.

The organ of the State Agricultural
College at Manhattan, the 1ndustrialist,
reports that cottonwood tree, twenty
years old, was recently cut down in that
place. 1t had attained circumference
of seventy-five inches, and, when cut up,
furnished two and one fourth corps of
fuel. The rings showing its annual
growth were distinctly marked. The
outer ring, showing the growth for 1885,
was about quarter of an inch thick
The growth for the ten preceding years
was uniformly about three quarters of an
inch for each year. The growth for 1875
was the least in its history-only about
one-fourth of an inch. That for 1874 was
only about half an inch. while that for
1873 and preceding years was quite large.
